Gaika: ‘If you’re a black guy you’re supposed to make grime, reggae or coffee-table music’
Dean Blunt: 'We still have black hyper-masculinity as the dominant image in popular black music. I’m done with it'

is this true anon?
how many modern black artists can you name who make experimental music?

inb4 danny brown meme

I'll start: Dedekind Cut, Yves tumor, Dean, Gaika, matana roberts, MC Ride, Ferraro?,

well, "popular music"

blues grew into rock and roll spawning endless genres, jazz and swing developing theory to even the extent of classical composers. funk and R&B leading to hip-hop and rap which now dominates half of the music industry

I know this thread is probably a massive shitpost but blacks have influenced global music far more than whites

Black people making electronic music is cultural appropriation desu.

If you're going to make savage bongo rhythms, I won't hold it against you, but it's sad to see the field once marked by greats like Stockhausen and Xenakis being taken over by post-African repetitions.

>'We still have black hyper-masculinity as the dominant image in popular black music

Why is this a bad thing? Who says you can't be Avant-Garde while being masculine. Look at Parker, Coltrane, Davis, Mingus, Bad Brains etc..

The last thing we need to be is be like the white faggots that make trash like this and call it experimental music.

it's experimental for a rap artist to put out a really, really, really, intolerably shitty "grunge" album, but that doesn't make the music itself experimental.

>Ignores the fact that black faggot's created the electronic genre he claims to love.
Uh, no....

For the most part it was done by old white academics.
>>
>>69987121
i think ur the retard mate
>>
>>69988286
Old white academics experimented with the instruments/tools of electronic music but the actual sound of their music was 0% like the niggas in Chicago and Detroit who started house and techno.

Kraftwerk is probably more influential than either group and they were nerdy white pop stars
>>
>>69988397
Yet it's still electronic music. The anon I replied to didn't mention house/techno/club music - he said black members of the queer community created "electronic" music which is objectively false.

Are you stupid? Black people invented house and techno. People on this board really don't know anything about music, not even the most basic things, but always want to spout off.
>>
>>69986476
You clearly don't listen to any black electronic artists, the vast majority of black techno artists do not use African influenced rhythms
>>

Thissssss. His remix of They Don't Really Care About Us is one of the most powerful pieces I've heard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d52CZcDJKc4

Also the Moor Mother album that came out this year was incredible. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for experimental black artists. Also very powerful stuff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm93dYZIVIo

And
serpentwithfeet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coaAbXevV_g
Lotic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmv041RT29U
And of course the god Ornette Coleman
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-FZOHxibYQ
(jazz is rife with experimentation, but Ornette is my favorite for sure)

Mal Devisa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmykikkL3lU
and Moses Sumney
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYdFSBXZSyc
Both are not super experimental but are creative singer-songwriters worth checking out

you're the oblivious one. "the electronic genre" is an umbrella term for music made electronically, which was entirely invented by white academics. just because the conversation around electronic music has become myopic as fuck where somehow Kraftwerk and maybe the Beatles invented sampling out of nowhere and then black people in Chicago and Detroit made all dance music ever possible doesn't mean that electronic music isn't a much wider field than you comprehend and has a much deeper and richer history than that. just fuck off already.
